ED Nine.5 Installed (Carputer, DLS kicks, etc) *updated*
--
EDIT: Added some updated pics below
--
Since I asked around and no one responded w/ any ED nine.5 installs i figure i'd contribute and post my install.
No comprehensive build pics or anything like that here. Just pics of the amp install and some misc gear pics. All the stuff has been running for a few yrs now - i figure i'd just get a diff amp and make it look a little nicer.
Amp was huge but found a way to install it w/o taking out the spare and still keep it relatively hidden. Not as stealth as installing from the spare tire location, but it works for me (wanted to keep spare, utilize existing box for mount to add as little weight as possible, etc).
Running DLS MS6s in Bing's kicks, sub is ran through Mike's "Type S" enclosure. Amp and x-overs are mounted on "ears" made from MDF mounted to his box to extend it's width. Wires all tucked, hidden etc.
carpet to cover everything up will probably be added to ensure you can't see the cut-outs.
Amp panels:
Amp & xovers showing:
Sub control switch & misc switches (carpc acc line, monitor pwr line)
Center console:
View from behind:
CarPC loading:
"Head unit" i made using an imon controller, and a slim slot DVD drive mounted together (i'll probably redo this and center the imon controller - not as 'stock' looking as i'd like):
Misc Front end pics(Roadrunner w/ modified BMV skin):
And finally, carputer pics. It's behind the Bose panel on a glove compartment box mounted on there.
Mounted to plastic 'hidden' tray that's removable for maintenance, upgrade, etc.
The lack of responses is probably because most here are not familiar with this level of installation.
Oh... i figured most people wouldn't want to mount such a gigantor amp in the limited space we have =P.

Lol naw. As you can see from my post count i don't post much so I wasn't sure about any pic limits so I figured i'd leave some space to add more pics if needed.

Fun stuff, I have burned through some eD, DLS, JL, Memphis, Polk SR, ADS, gear etc... and still think back to the value and quality of the eD stuff. Nice install and gear.

Nice just ordered a nine.5 myself and planned something similart to what u did with ur amp. Did u make ur own amp rack or modify a existing aftermarket one?

I have the Zenclosure Type S sub box beneath my setup. The sub box is used as a base for the amp. The sub box wasn't long enough to just mount the amp on since the amp is so wide that little 'extensions' made out of MDF were used to lengthen the mounting surface.
That allowed for some space to mount the xovers as well.
Beware of all the curves with the rear panels if your mounting it in the same place I did. If your sub is mounted in one of the many understrut boxes, an install like this one would not only be a lot easier to implement, it is definitely a lot more 'stealth' than at the angle i did mine...
